address.
The funeral of Mr.. II. Clay Rob

place from the 1st Baptist church,
Manchester, Monday May 2nd.
Rev. Blnga officiated.
Sometime during Sunday night
the store of Mr.. Reuben Clay, No.
1876 n Third Street, was entered
by thieves and about $4,000 worth
of groceries were stolen. The en-
trance was effected by forcing open
the rear door.
A revival is going On going ON
at the Ebenezer Baptist church and
there are many who seem anxious
to have a knowledge of Christ.
Mr.. E. r. Carter, but a few
months ago, was a mailing clerk
in the Richmond post Office, now
he is one of the leading grocers in
our city, this is at least one of the
favorable effects Of the change of
administration.
The work ON our new city Hall
is progressing rapidly but as yet
no colored mechanics are employ.

THEY SAY THAT,

Promises made in good faith are
often broken.
Honest men who make promises
will keep them.
Politicians are honest, hence
they never break promises?
Men who make promises and
don't abide by them often come to
regret.
We often laugh at men who ap-
pear weak, but sooner or later we
ask them to do US favor.
Always watch the man who
grins when he meets you. He is
a viper in human form.
Dishonest men show their teeth
when they meet you.
A man who tells tales on others
attemps to ingratiate himself.in the
favor of his superior officer is an
enemy to his employer.
Men often do injury to those
who help them.
The man who tells the defects
Of his former employer to his sue
cessor is a dangerous man to trust.
Always watch the man or woman
who tells you that he didn't do it;
it was not /. Such a person
